Troubleshooting

Lack of visible improvement in coralline algae growth.

Check and adjust water parameters (calcium, alkalinity, etc.) to ensure they are within the optimal range. Ensure sufficient lighting and flow for the coralline algae. Make sure the dosing is correct as per instructions.

Cloudy water after adding Purple-Up.

This is normal and should clear up within a few hours as the aragonite powder dissolves. Ensure proper water flow in the aquarium.

Unexplained algae growth.

Check your water parameters and lighting. Purple-Up should not cause nuisance algae growth, but imbalances in other areas might. Make sure you don't use more than the prescribed dosage. Reduce light if necessary and make sure to do regular water changes
